DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Different cells in your body (example:a heart cell and skin cell) have ____
A
different DNA and different RNA
B
the same DNA and different RNA
C
different DNA and the same RNA
D
the same DNA and the same RNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We learned in biology class that every cell in the body has the same DNA. Whether a heart cell, skin cell or muscle cell-they all read from the same genetic blueprint. Now, scientists are learning there is more to the story.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is contained in blood, semen, skin cells, tissue, organs, muscle, brain cells, bone, teeth, hair, saliva, mucus, perspiration, fingernails, urine, feces, etc. Where can DNA evidence be found at a crime scene? DNA evidence can be collected from virtually anywhere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, humans have both DNA and RNA. DNA makes up the chromosomes within the nuclei of cells. The DNA is our genetic material and contains the code for making all of the proteins in the body. RNA is created specifically for protein synthesis.
